10 Algorithm to Achieve Glycemic Goals Baseline A1C 6.5% - 7.5% Monotherapy may be effective in this range Metformin first choice for monotherapy if no contraindications Consider DPP-4 if PP and FPG, GLP-1 if PP, TZD if metabolic syndrome or NAFLD, AGI if PP Do not recommend secretagogue (SU or glinide) in this range due to risk of hypoglycemia; short-lived effect If monotherapy is unsuccessful, move on to dual oral rx; often need to augment reduction in PP BG to get to goal in this A1C range DPP-4 = dipeptidyl peptidase-4; PP = post-prandial; FPG = fasting plasma glucose; GLP-1 = glucagon-like peptide-1; TZD = thiazolidinedione; NAFLD = non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; AGI = alpha-glucosidase inhibitor; SU = sulfonylurea; A1C = glycated hemoglobin; SGLT-2 = sodium glucose transport-2 AACE Comprehensive Diabetes Management Algorithm Endocr Pract. 2013;19(3):

11 Algorithm to Achieve Glycemic Goals Baseline A1C 7.6%-9.0% Dual therapy with metformin provides superior glycemic control over metformin alone. If dual oral rx is unsuccessful, consider triple therapy If triple oral rx fails to achieve A1C goal, initiate insulin GLP-1 RA = glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist DPP4-I = dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor TZD = thiazolidinedione SGLT-2 = sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor QR = quick-release AG-I = alpha-glucosidase inhibitor SU = sulfonylurea GLN = glinide AACE Comprehensive Diabetes Management Algorithm Endocr Pract. 2013;19(3):

12 Algorithm to Achieve Glycemic Goals Baseline A1C >9.0% If patient is asymptomatic with recent onset of disease and drug naïve, may consider starting with dual or triple oral regimens If symptomatic, start insulin Once A1C has improved to <7.5%, consider initiation of dual oral therapy with tapering and possible discontinuation of insulin rx AACE Comprehensive Diabetes Management Algorithm Endocr Pract. 2013;19(3):

14 Clinical Considerations Combining therapeutic agents with different modes of action may be advantageous In many if not most patients (unless contraindicated or intolerance has been demonstrated), use metformin, which increases insulin sensitivity, and/or insulin sensitizers such as TZDs, as part of the therapeutic regimen Dosage of secretagogues or insulin should be adjusted as blood glucose levels decline when used in combination with metformin, TZD, DPP-4 inhibitors, and/or incretin mimetics (GLP-1 agonists) TZD = thiazolidinediones; DPP-4 = dipeptidyl peptidase-4; GLP-1 = glucagon-like peptide-1 AACE Comprehensive Diabetes Management Algorithm Endocr Pract. 2013;19(3): Sitagliptin [package insert].

15 Clinical Considerations The weight gain associated with thiazolidinediones in some patients may be partly offset by combination therapy with metformin If A1C is elevated and preprandial blood glucose measurements are at target levels, carefully assess postprandial glucose levels Individualize treatment regimens!

17 Risk of Hypoglycemia Plays a significant role in choice of agents in AACE algorithm For patients at highest risk of hypoglycemia, may consider close evaluation of agents chosen as well as therapeutic goal Patients with type 2 diabetes at highest risk of low blood glucose include those with: Diabetes duration >15 years Advanced macrovascular disease Hypoglycemia unawareness Limited life expectancy Severe comorbidities AACE Comprehensive Diabetes Management Algorithm Endocr Pract. 2013;19(3): ; AACE Algorithm for Glycemic Control, Endocr Pract. 2009;15(6):

32 Renal Glucose Transport in Type 2 Diabetes With increasing plasma glucose, filtered glucose increases in linear relationship When transport system becomes saturated, excess glucose is excreted in urine Renal threshold for glucose is 180 mg/dl in normal glucosetolerant individuals In patients with type 2 diabetes, transport maximum for glucose increases and glucosuria occurs at more elevated glucose levels Glucose reabsorption is enhanced, leading to worsening hyperglycemia Handelsman Y. Endocrine Pract, Bays, H. Diabetes Therapy, 2013; Goldstein DE et al. Diabetes Care, 2004.

33 Mechanism of action: SGLT2 Inhibitors Decrease re-absorption of glucose in the proximal convoluted tubule Decrease renal threshold so urinary glucose excretion occurs at lower plasma glucose concentration FDA-approved Canagliflozin Dapagliflozin Empagliflozin FDA = U.S. Food and Drug Administration; SGLT-2 = sodium-dependent glucose cotransporters-2.
